Education

CPP

California State Polytechnic University, Pomona

2020 - 2025

B.Sc Mechanical Engineering - GPA: 3.7

I am currently in my final year here at CPP finishing up my bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering. Here I have been able to grow my interest and knowledge in ME through numerous courses, clubs, and employment. I have put in many hours into several clubs on campus including ASME, Baja SAE, and Pi Tau Sigma, all of which taught me valuable leadership and shop skills (experience section). I worked a few positions as well, such as a recreational technician where I provided the upkeep to a variety of machinery. In terms of courses, here are the ones that are most relevant:

  • ME2150 Vector Dynamics
  • ME2191 Mechanics of Materials
  • ME3190 Stress Analysis
  • ME3250 Machine Design
  • ME4060 Finite Element Analysis
  • ME4990 Entertainment Design
  • MFE2010 Manufacturing Systems
  • ME3150 Engineering Materials
  • ME4391 Control of Mechanical Systems
  • ME4351/L Mechanical Measurements
  • CHM1150 Chemistry for Engineers
  • ME3121 Int Thermal-Fluids
  • ME4150 Heat Transfer
  • ME4271 Thermal System Design
  • ME3070 Alternate Energy Systems
QUT

Queensland Univeristy of Technology

2022 - 2023

B.Sc Mechanical Engineering - GPA: 3.5

For 12 months, I studied abroad in Australia to experience a new setting and to gain more perspective on engineering and life in general. While I still progressed towards my degree, I also took some out-of-the-box classes that gave me new creative outlets. This year was very transformative, and I enjoyed learning other ways in which engineering is taught across the globe.

  • ME3011 Thermodynamics
  • ME3111 Fluid Mechanics
  • MET3980 Mechatronics Design
  • GIT1980 Building IT Systems
  • CS1980 Game Development
Westview

Westview High School

2016 - 2020

GED - GPA: 3.9

Westview was an academically forward school, and I did well with grades and being involved. I helped run charities such as Support Young Athletes, played tennis and soccer, and created good relationships with my teachers and peers.

  • AP Calculus
  • AP Chemistry
  • AP Computer Science
  • AP Physics (Newtonian & Electromagnetism)

Experience

Packaging Engineer Intern

Ajinomoto

Ontario, CA

May 2024 - January 2025

During the summer and fall semester, I was a packaging engineer intern at Ajinomoto. Here, I took part in carrying out structural stress tests of packaging, creating and adding to a new company-wide database, implementing new methods of prototyping, and overseeing the accurate transition of data between archives. Throughout my time there, I presented my findings and progress to the executive board on several occasions. This experience helped me improve my critical thinking, my public speaking ability, and made me proficient in Excel, Word, and Powerpoint.

Co-President & Scheduler

Pi Tau Sigma

Pomona, CA (CPP)

August 2024 - Present

I decided to join Pi Tau Sigma, a mechanical engineering society that strives to support ME students through university and with getting into industry, because I believed in their message and goals. As Scheduler and now Co-President, I took on the tasks of finding and reserving locations for meetings, presenting to students, growing comradery, and facilitating industry connections. I usually lead workshops, where we focus on a single aspect of school/job hunting, and provide our best input and support. I have massively developed my leadership capabilities, public speaking skills, and my ability and desire to take the initiative.

Recreational Technician

Associated Students Inc.

Pomona, CA (CPP)

December 2023 - June 2024

As a recreational technician, I was responsible for the upkeep and repair of many of my university gym's mechanical equipment. This included workout machines, safety systems, and the mechanisms in the pool's boiler room. Our jobs were essential, as failure to effectively carry out our tasks would quickly lead to the shutdown and damage of school facilities. I gained valuable knowledge on mechanical maintenance and hand tool use, and also got CPR and CPO (pool operator) certifications.

Front of Store Attendant

Target

San Diego, CA

August 2020 - August 2023

My responsibilities lied in keeping the front of the store orderly, efficient, and stocked. This included running the guest service desk, fulfilling orders and delivering them, collecting and fixing carts, and assisting the team lead with tasks.

Engineer Intern

Apex Mechanical Systems Inc.

San Diego, CA

June 2019 - August 2019

As an intern, I was responsible for visiting client locations and making records of their active HVAC systems. I would present these findings to my superiors, where we would then conduct simulations of heat transfer through the buildings accounting for time of year, the orientation of the building, and countless other factors. We would then determine the viability of the current systems, and look into modifications and improvements to reach the client's requirements. I also spent much of my time shadowing the engineers in meetings and out in the field.
